Hello everybody!
I’m Matt and I’m a contributor to NetworkX who is also an undergraduate student taking a technical communications class. Our final project is to write a white paper and the topic that I chose was the effects of between-project collaboration for open source software, making Scientific Python an excellent option for me to focus on.
I would greatly appreciate if you would take a few minutes to complete this quick eight question poll to give me a better understanding of the Scientific Python community.
(I’m also not sure how to categorize this post, so apologizes if there is a better place for it)
